[Q] Plain android boot animation

Can anyone help me with finding the boot animation (see image) Its just the plain ANDROID word in a blueish colour that becomes slightly reflective. If anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks

I saw it on OpenDesire ROM. You can ask AdamG or extract from his ROM.

is the default animation of android. delete /data/local/bootanimation.zip and /system/media/bootanimation.zip and you have. is contained in /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Thank you

Do you know how to extract the animation from the .apk file?
Many Thanks for your responses

all you have to do is delete all other bootanimations... that one is the default so it cannot be deleted... once you delete the others it will go back to the default one by itsself.

Thanks

I understand, but I am unable to delete the files from /data/local/bootanimation.zip and /system/media/bootanimation.zip There are not write permissions. What is the easiest way to delete these files.
Many Thanks

I could delete bootanimation.zip in /system/media with root explorer and mounting in write mode. BUT the bootanimation.zip just comes back after reboot. So no stock android bootanimation to see. Running on DeFroST5.8 wich is using the NexusOne animation. How can I extract the bootanimation from OpenDesire which is the stock android one? Any hints??
Thanks
EDIT: ok, could delete/rename using adb shell when in recovery AND also delete/rename the exiting bootanimation.zip on /sdcard. Details how to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696235&highlight=boot+animation&page=9 POST #89
NOW I have the stock android bootanimation.
Still, I would like to have it as a zip file I could apply after flashing a new ROM. Ok, I know, I'm lazy

Use adb or s-off to delete files in /system/

You do understand, that you need root to do this right?
And the reason is, that the system partition is nand locked, so untill you make your phone s-off, you cannot edit it wile system is booted. So alternately you can boot into your custom recovery like clockwork mod and use adb commands to remover it.

[Q] need help please

hi everyone im new to the forum and wanted to say my god i love this forum ,all you guys help each other and im glad to be part of this forum .=) i have the htc evo 4g and its rooted .i just flashed miui rom and love it ,however,i wanted to know how i can load the call of duty bootanimation to this rom if possible .and i have 3 roms backed up that are all 3 the same how can i delete 2 of them thanks

1. Download the animation, re-name it to bootanimation
2. Place it on the root of your sd card, using a root file explorer [es file explorer, root explorer, ect] move it to /system/media and overwrite the existing one
3. Use a file manager to explore your sd card. You'll see a folder called clockwork if on cwm recovery, or nandroid if on amon ra. Open then folder and you'll see all your backups. Simply delete the ones you don't want

i have the miui rom .i have done this before and still wont work .can i delete everything i see with bootanimation? and just download a link with bootanimation and put it on my sd card ? and i figured out how to delete the back ups i did not want anymore thanks a bunch .i am using nandroid back up

Check for the /data/local folder for the bootanimation.zip [ I haven't used MIUI, but its either in /system/media or /data/local]

i went to date /local/using root explorer and get 3 folders one folder says parent folder second folder says download third folder says tmp now i go to systems and i see a folder called bootanimation.zip is that the folder im doing it as i type to you

You're in /system/media? What is the path exactly?

root eplorere its mounted as r/o i go to system and i see bootanimation .zip and i scroll down to media and if i open media i see audio bootanimation than bootanimation.zip than cod-bootanimation-aosp which is the bootanimation i want on my evo than gadget than lockscreen and so on

You need to delete the original bootanimation.zip, then rename cod-bootanimation-aosp to bootanimation [should still be .zip], reboot, and you should be good.

the cod bootanimation-aosp does not say zip next to it .does that mean its not zipped ? how do i know the bootanimation.zip is the original one ?

looking at the bootanimation folders i have about 3 folders with the name bootanimation if i long press the folder it saids i can zip the folder

Also make sure you're mounted as r/w. Long press it and hit rename, it should still be .zip, just doesn't show on the preview. Then do what I said previously.

i just switched it to r/w and i can only find the bootanimation file under s/d card and when i open the folder this is what it shows five files 1 file is parent folder 2 folder DS-STORE THIRD FILE ANDROID FOURTH FILE BOOTANIMATION.ZIP FIFTH FILE DESC.TXT WHEN I CLICK ON FOURTH FILE WHICH IS BOOTANIMATION.ZIP I GET THIS PARENT FOLDER TWO DS-STORE FOLDERS THAT HAVE A LITTLE YELLOW STAR ON THEM .NEXT FOLDER META-NF AND SYSTEM HOW CAN I START THE PROCESS FROM SCRATCH

I was following some guy called zeromax on youtube .i did what he said to do and still not worked

Well you saw all those folders because you opened the bootanimation.zip zip, which you don't need to.
1. from the sd card, copy the renamed cod bootanimation, that has been renamed to bootanimation.zip
2. go to /system/media, delete the bootanimation.zip in there
3. paste your bootanimation.zip in its place, done.

My post 2 above is the 'restart' from the beginning.

On MIUI you apply boot animations through the Theme Manager. You can either pm me a link to the animation and I'll make you a mtz to apply through theme manager, or you can follow the normal directions. If you do it the same way you would do it on any other rom, you have to go into theme manager afterwards and reapply the default animation. You would do so by going to customize at the bottom of the main screen, then choose boot animation and select the default one. You may need to choose another before you're given the option to apply the default. If you don't have one then youcan download one from the theme manager.
MIUI is different from other roms in many ways, but theming is much easier as well. If you ever need help getting certain things working on MIUI, feel free to pm me. I've been running it for over six months and know it better than I know stock Android or Sense.
Edit: You can also place the boot animation in /data/system/theme/boots, name it bootanimation.zip, set permissions to rw-r--r--, and reboot. Applying through theme manager is easiest if you're not familiar with modifying system files. As I already mentioned, I'd be happy to make an mtz for you.

You can add the boot sound through the Theme Manager. If you have the mp3, open theme manager. Select customize at the bottom, select boot sound, then choose the music app to find the sound.
I replied to your pm, do you still need me to make the theme? It's best to have the theme on hand. It'll take less than 15 minutes for me to make it, so if you want it just respond to my pm. I get notification that way, I might forget to check the thread.

How do I get the CRT sleep animation?

I am at lost on how to put the crt tv animation for when i turn my phone off into sleep mode

Flash the file in this thread with CWM.
If you don't have cwm or want to do it manually extract the libsurfaceflinger.so from the zip (its in the system/lib folder).
Using a root explorer, copy this file to system on your phone, set permissions to rw-r--r-- and then move this file to system/lib, replacing the original file when asked. It may be a good idea to copy the original file as a backup before trying any of this.

i did this to my r800x which is 2.3.3, and its in a boot loop now. Is there a different version for 2.3.3? Or should that one work for every version?

I'm not sure, but i think it may not work on lower than 2.3.4. Also no idea about r800x support. Try posting on that thread itself, you may get more replies than here.

Can someone please upload a stock libsurfaceflinger.so file from their 2.3.3 phone?

[Boot Animation] [TW] [SAMSUNG] Change Boot Animation and Sound

Hi, Many of you curious about changing boot animation in samsung mobile. You know samsung uses qmg like boot animations. So it is complex to create own boot animation than creating zip boot animation.In this tutorial I have replaced the qmg files with zip boot animations.
I have tested on my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime. It should work on any Samsung Kitkat Variants mobile. Please test and report here.
Please make a NANDROID BACKUP before modifying the system files
For that just download the files from here and place it right folder and set the PERMISSIONS.
1. Place this file in system/bin folder and set the permission -rwxr-xr-x (See other files permissions system/bin folder)
Please note it disables qmg boot animations and enable zip boot animations.
[[ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3-NCstEO255cVM1b0xpejd3Nmc/view?usp=docslist_api ]]
2. Download the bootanimation.zip and place it system/media folder and set the permission -rw-r--r-- (see other files permissions in system/media folder)
[[ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3-NCstEO255VktzQU9MTGlSRVU/view?usp=docslist_api ]]
Or you can download any custom zip boot animations. Just google and download and place them in right place
3. To change boot sound just create a ogg file naming PowerOn.ogg (don't much than 20s) and place it in system/media/audio/ui and set permissions -rw-r--r-- (see other files' permission in the same folder)
To disable boot sound rename the PowerOn.ogg file as you wish like PowerOn.ogg.bak
Here the screen shots for the permissions

@nandunani007 Go to file properties, then see permission and change. Make sure you have given root permission to the ES File Explorer and Root browsing mode enabled. You can use any root browser.

Pls note. In samsung zip animations are not supported. They are placed in system/media in the name of samsungboot.qmg blah blah. If you want to replaced the qmg bootanimation with zip bootanimation you have to read the whole the thread pls. Again. I am busy in studies now. So I can not make a video for you. Anyway In this thread just change your bootanimation with custom zip animation.
If you want to change bootanimation (qmg format) (mine trick is zip bootanimation on samsung device which is easy to create). Follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611682
Hope u understand qmg & zip like bootanimations

Bootanimation - I changed the correct file, but it's still showing a different one

Latest April update and I have magisk 16.3 with 5.64 manager version. Everything works fine, but now i've hit a snag.
I wanted to change the boot animation, I changed the file /media/bootanimation.zip and set permissions 644 (rw-r-r) using 1)solid explorer 2)root explorer 3)adb shell (using mount-wo remount rootfs / to make the /media partition writable. multiple reboots of course. the files I set are "sticking" after reboot.
It's still showing stock animation.
I found an app that would change it though: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=website.olivermillers.customboot2
I don't know what file it changed but it made a backup of my stock animation, and it was my stock animation (not the one that I had set for /media/bootanimation.zip). I tried to restore the stock animation manually, as described above, but now it just shows the boot animation set by that app, and I can't change it.
Questions:
1. What am I doing wrong and what did that app do correctly, that it was able to change the boot animation?
and/or
2. Is there a substratum module with a black pixel 2 animation? That's all I really want and I can change animations with magisk easily and reliably. Just can't find the one I need.

I did it using the root browser app and the bootanimation changed.. it's system/media I think
